• Experience managing social media channels on behalf of an organisation, with a following of 100k+
• Experience overseeing community management at scale via a community management platform (e.g. Sprout or equivalent)
• Experience leading and mentoring a team to execute high-quality content and manage competing deadlines
• Ability to deliver compelling, youth-focused content, led by trends and insight
• Ability to take a trauma-informed approach to communication and crisis response
• Candidates will also be assessed on a short written task focused on how they will embody YoungMinds' values around anti-racism, justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in their day-to-day role

You will join a purpose-led, ambitious and collaborative team committed to strengthening democracy by equipping young people with the skills, knowledge and confidence to participate actively in society. 

We are a growing, agile organisation with a strong focus on learning and development. We invest in our people and provide real opportunities to build expertise, take ownership and grow alongside the organisation as we scale over the next three years. 

We combine a results-driven culture with flexibility in how we work. Our benefits include 28+ days of annual leave (plus 8 bank holidays), volunteering days, office closure over the Christmas period, full pension contributions on the first 8%, and enhanced leave packages. 

As a relatively small yet national team, you will have the opportunity to work across the organisation and closely with senior leadership, influencing how we improve our programmes, and see the direct impact of your work on our mission.

• Support events and donor-facing activities that deepen engagement and raise the profile of priority projects.
